Two Canadians Honored for Social Justice

Two Canadian trailblazers, sociologist Cecilia Benoit and librarian Ry Moran, are honored with prestigious Order of Canada appointments for transforming policy and advancing reconciliation. Benoit’s research reshaped national conversations on sex work, maternal care, and health equity, directly influencing midwifery recognition and youth cannabis guidelines. Moran, a champion of Indigenous voices, led testimony collection for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and is now weaving Indigenous knowledge into university libraries and campus life—his legacy extending from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation to the Royal B.C. Museum. Their work embodies a powerful commitment to justice, evidence-based change, and healing through knowledge. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
